The Election is a political drama starring Lee and Liu Kai Chi and it depicts a 2022 election in which the public vote for their chief executive from a list of candidates selected by an election committee, according to the South China Morning Post.

The drama comes at a time when Occupy Central protests for democracy are roiling Hong Kong.

It was reportedly picked in a poll as the first programme to be shown on HKTV, which will launch as an Internet TV service after its bid for a free-to-air TV licence was rejected.

The drama will air on Nov 19, the same day when free-to-air station TVB celebrates its 47th anniversary.

Lee added that she has been through the process of facing the truth, dealing with it and letting it go, and is now focused on moving forward.
